DE KAY, itizen of the United States, residing at ron, in the county of Genesee and State of w York, have invented certain new and ful Improvements in Plow Attachments, 1 I do hereby declare the following to be all, clear, and exact description of the inition, such as will enable others skilled in art to which it appertains to make and the same, reference being had to the acipanying drawings, and to the letters of erence marked thereon, which form a part this specification.

his intention relates to new and useful provements in plow attachments and comses a pivoted rod adapted to be fastened the beam of a plow and provided with 1g teeth which are provided for the pur- "e of combing or breaking up the furrow it is turned by the plow, means being proed for holding the rod out of operative ition.

he invention comprises various other dels of construction and combinations and angements of parts which will be hereiner fully described and then specifically ned in the appended claims.

illustrate my invention in the accomying drawings, in which igure 1 is a perspective view showing the paratus as applied to a plow, and Fig. 2 an enlarged detail view showing the manof holding the rod out of operative poeference now being had to the details of drawings by letter, A designates an ordiry beam having the handles B and fased to said beam is a bar C having an eye therein, in which one end of the rocking is journaled, the rear portion of said l being laterally curved. A second eye F jects from one of the plow handles forma second journal for the rod which passes rethrough.

said rod and affords means whereby the angled portion of the rod carrying the teeth may be raised and lowered. In order to hold said rod from longitudinal movement, I provide a collar which is fixed to the rock ing rod I adjacent to the angle 0 of said rod and upon the threaded end 0 of the rod I provide a threaded screw 0 K designates a clamp member which is fastened to oneof the handles of the plow and has a clip N adapted to engage and hold the rod out of an operative position and up against the handle in the manner shown.

The operation of my apparatus is as follows :\Vhen it is desired to throw the rod into an operative position, it may be done by twisting the end of the rod which is held against the handle and allowing the rod to turn in its bearings so that the teeth G will comb or drag through the furrow which has been turned by the mold board, itbeing noted that the angled portion of the rod carrying the teeth is positioned in the rear of the mold board. By means of the chain, the end of the rod may be held at different positions accordingly as may be desired.

hat I claim to be new is In combination with the beam and handles of a plow, bars fastened one to the beam and the other to the shank portion of the handle of the plow, a rocking rod journaled in bearings at the lower ends of said bars and positioned intermediate the plow beam and share, said rocking rod having a curved portion with teeth thereon at its rear end, a collar upon the rocking rod adjacent to the bearing upon the handle, and a nut mounted upon the forward threaded end of the shaft and cooperating with the collar for moving the shaft longitudinally.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
